Kashmiri Pandit Exodus | Nitish Rajput - YouTube

You have made citizens in your country refugees for the last 30 years

And you talk about CAA and NRC

The main thing is that until the last vote is collected on this issue

till then the Kashmiri pandits will remain in speeches, not in their homes.

In the same Jammu and Kashmir, you've given 3000 acres of land

to the Industry and Commerce Department for the investment.

But all the powers fail when it's time to give 200 acres to Kashmiri Pandits

Congress has unlocked the door of Babri Mosque in Ayodhya

We started seeing Islamic and religious flags instead of Kashmiri separation flags.

People raise their arms when it's about their daughters and sisters and when

it's about their religion. This is the reason why religion became primary in Kashmir

They had to flee leaving all their belongings as if there was a storm

On 21st January, Muslims reached Gawkadal bridge shouting slogans

26000 thousand soldiers have been martyred due to Kashmir

And 7000 to 8000 soldiers have been martyred in that valley.

Nobody cares about that.

Because it's not a vote bank. Hurriyat who talks about the separation of Kashmir

The government has spent 484 crores Rs on its security.

It's not like there have always been these many religious riots in Kashmir

People used to live very lovingly

From 1983 to 1990,

during these 7 years, some people made such condition

due to which this big incident occurred with Kashmiri Pandits.

So in reality, who was behind the incident?

And what are the reasons? Let's discuss.

Don't get into this that I've said Kashmiri Pandit and not Hindus

I've said exodus and not genocide. See, I don't have any problem with that

I just want you to decide from your understanding at the end of the video

that what happened in reality. And for sometime

I want you to keep aside your ideology and try to understand

what happened there actually. So the first thing is who are Kashmiri Pandits?

Before the 13th century, the population of Kashmir

were Hindu.

So around the 14th century,

when Muslim rulers ruled

Kashmiri Pandits left Kashmir at that time

and came back later

They are called en masse. This was the first exodus

and this was the first attack on Kashmiri Pandits.

Exodus means going from one place to another in mass.

And the ones who didn't flee and stayed there are called bal de masse

And the third is buher pandits who do business etc. After Muslim invasion

almost after 150 to 200 years, the majority became Muslim there.

According to the 1981 census, 4.43% Kashmiri Pandits were there around 124000.

The percentage increased slightly in 1990.

So we'll discuss what happened between 1983 to 1990

See, after the death of Sheikh Abdullah, his son Farooq Abdullah became

the CM of Jammu and Kashmir. And after that in 1983, elections were

conducted in which Farooq Abdullah formed the government with Congress

He became CM in that. There's one thing about Farooq Abdullah when he used

to go to Delhi, he always said that Kashmir would remain with India forever.

And he said the same to Pakistan. And he talked about the separatist in Kashmir.

There's one benefit of this

Everybody thought that he is talking about them

The name of the party of Farooq Abdullah was National Conference

And there was his brother-in-law Ghulam Mohammad Shah in his party.

He used to dream about becoming CM. And congress knew this thing very well.

Ghulam Mohammad dreamt of being the CM. And Ghulam Mohammad made

a new party Awami National Conference by breaking the MLA of National Conference

And Congress broke the alliance with Farooq Abdullah and made

a party with Ghulam Mohammad and made him a CM. Why did Congress do this?

Farooq Abdullah was not in control of congress properly. He talked about all sides.

Congress thought that a CM should be the person

who will act according to them. That's why they made Ghulam Mohammad CM

But it went the opposite. And according to the experts, this was

a major blunder of congress. Ghulam Mohammad acting according to congress

was far away but he started religious talks. He started supporting separatists.

Now, who are these separatists?

Separatists means the people who want Kashmir to be a separate nation.

These have many types too. The first is the people who want Kashmir

to become a part of Pakistan. The second is the people who want it to be a

separate nation. So, there are many groups but please remember these 3 groups

The first is JKLF, Jammu and Kashmir Liberation Front.

The second is Hizbul Mujahideen and the third is All Party Hurriyat Conference

It is called Hurriyat in short.

JKLF says that they will take freedom by raising arms and

we will neither join India nor Pakistan. They are asked if they are freed

then how will you run the country, what will be the defense and finance management?

How will the import-export be done? So they don't have an answer to this.

But they want to be separated. Even though if you talk to any expert all over the world

Then they will say it is not possible for any country to remain

independent at such geographical locations.

if we talk about Hizbul Mujahideen

then they say that they want to join Pakistan and be separated from India

You may have heard many freedom stories but have you heard

that we want to come under another countries' flag after freedom?

You may have understood that it is a Pakistani-backed organization by its ideology.

And Hurriyat says that we want to be separated neither we want to be with Pakistan

nor India. But we want to resolve this issue by talking. We will not take weapons.

It is somewhat complicated at the moment but gradually you'll understand

how was the planning done? Rather than acting according to Congress Ghulam Mohammad

explained to Muslims that see the population of Kashmiri Pandits are

less but then also they are on every post, lawyer, judge, professor

And this is true that Kashmiri Pandits are a quite literate population

During the time of The Muslim invasion also, Kashmiri pandits were kept in the administration

During the same time, in the year 1986, congress unlocked the Babri Mosque

in Ayodhya so that the Hindus can perform their religious rituals there.

Congress was helpless because of the Shah Bano case of that time

They made Muslims happy at that time but

Hindu voters were against this. To balance that, they unlocked the Babri Mosque

But the problem that occurred was that

more riots broke out in Kashmir due to this.

Now you may think that Ghulam Mohammad wanted to become Chief Minister

And he became chief minister then why was he doing all this?

He wanted to become a chief minister but forever

He knew that there were more Muslim community

And if he will talk about them then people

will get him to win every time regardless of the congress being there or not.

The same politics that goes on all over India. One day, Ghulam Mohammad came

and said the area of New Civil Sachivalaya has an old temple,

a grand mosque will be built after demolishing it.

Kashmiri Hindus protested against this and it rose to a level that led to the riots.

This was the second time when Kashmir Hindus were attacked. First time was

when the invasion occurred in the 14th century and this was the second time.

And due to this, voices had been raised against Kashmiri Hindus. It got so much

that congress realized its mistake and on 6th March 1986, Ghulam Mohammad was

removed and governor rule was implemented. At that time, Jagmohan was the governor

He remained a governor from 1984 to 1989. He used to do exactly what the government

told him to. So he was the governor during the Congress and when the alliance

government of BJP came, at that time also he was the governor. He was made a governor.

He joined the BJP later. So you can say that he was on BJP's side.

Farooq Abdullah gave a statement to the Times of India on February 7th, 1991

that yes, I told people to get training and cross the border and make sure that

Jagmohan couldn't catch you. Pakistan's PM Benazir Bhutto was giving

threats to Jagmohan. So we can get an idea that he may have caused some trouble.

TV news

Ghulam Mohammad was removed

but enmity increased during these two years.

All the separatists came together and

all of them decided to contest in the elections. We will act according to ourselves

They formed a party called MUF, Muslim United Front

When the elections came in 1987, so this time MUF also contested in the elections

MUF has made a huge vote bank on its side by doing religious talks

And Pakistan also supported MUF.

But congress couldn't afford them to win because it was about national security

The leaders of the same MUF who contested in the elections became very big terrorists

And Farooq Abdullah cared only about becoming a CM.

That's why congress and Farooq Abdullah left their past behind and

they both came together.

The results of the elections came

and Farooq Abdullah and Congress again made their government

Farooq Abdullah became a CM once again.

Now MUF said that the elections are rigged. They have been cheated on

Now you'll say that this is the story of every election. This happens everywhere

But the proof that came, common people got very angry after seeing them

The place from where Farooq Abdullah contested the results came in a maximum of 3 hours

from there. And the place from where MUF contested took a lot of time.

At some places counting was done, MLA went home after losing.

Later on, they were called and told that they'd won. Report of BBC came and it was

said that the Congress leaders accepted that there was something wrong with the voting.

The people who were on election duty told that all this was going on in front of them.

And the limit crossed when Farooq Abdullah who became CM due to that result

He accepted this later.

After that, MUF protested on a large scale. Instead of punishing the people

because of whom the elections were rigged, the government started to put MUF leaders in jail.

Yasin Malik who belonged to MUF also went to jail during that time.

When people came to know about this then they sympathize with the separatist leaders.

And they got angry with the government. And the biggest loss of this was the

fact that the separatist leaders said they don't want to get involved in politics.

Getting involved in politics is a waste of time and now we will take freedom by raising arms.

All the parties that were against the government and the separatist came together.

And the government was on the backfoot. JKLF got activated on a huge level

All the young Kashmiris were sent to Pakistan for training purposes

The MUF leaders who were fighting the elections became terrorists later on.

Their main leader Syed Salahuddin became the

main commander of Hizbul Mujahideen

During the same time, superpower Russia was sent back by Afghanistan after losing.

And this happened because America took support of Jihad

and delivered training, money, and arms to Afghanistan through Pakistan

The model explained by America to Pakistan for Afghanistan

The same model was used by Pakistan for India. The money and arms

received from America, some portion of that was sent to Kashmir

Pakistan was explaining to the Kashmiris that

if a superpower can be defeated by Jihad then what is India.

And these things were said by Pakistani PM on record.

TV news.

And this was the reason behind why

we started seeing

Islamic and religious flags instead of Kashmir separation flags.

And the Kashmir separation movement took a religious turn.

And anti-India sentiments were converted into anti-Hindu sentiments.

This proxy war is so feasible

that it has become a trend all over the world.

Local people of the country are manipulated to go against the government,

influence them, give them arms and cause instability and cut that state from the country.

If you want to do people of the country against the government

Then you'll say that roads are damaged here, education is not good here.

Then people will not raise weapons. People raise arms when it is upon their

sisters and daughters, when it's about their religion. And this is the reason

why religion became primary in Kashmir. Pakistan supported JKLF in every way

They talked about religion but they killed both Hindus and Muslims.

Their motive is the same that whoever will talk about India or join India

should be killed regardless of who he is. If you've seen the interview of Bitta Karate

Then he has said clearly that he had killed both Hindus and Muslims

were all Kashmiri Pandits or did you kill Muslims too?

Muslims too

And if we talk about the locals then these people have brainwashed some of them

And some of them did the informant work due to greed. Assume there is a Kashmiri Pandit,

His house is big, the shop is big and has a lot of lands. So get him killed by informants

And take the benefit of his shop and house. There's a very famous name Mohammad

Farooq Shah. He was Mirwais of that time. Mirwais means the head of the Kashmir Jama Mosque

This is a very important post and they have many followers.

So they said that Kashmiri pandits shouldn't be sent outside Kashmir.

So he was also killed by militants.

And after this, Mirwais was made in such a way that

who will talk against India. The Mirwais now is politically active

He has made a political party by joining small parties

called All Party Hurriyat Conference

Yasin and all had joined Hurriyat and left the weapons.

Hurriyat said that we will get Kashmir separated without raising any arms.

Because the Indian army has tackled the ones who raised their arms.

The local Muslims of Kashmir had the advantage that they will not get killed

until they will not do such activities which will show that they are with India.

And Kashmiri Pandits had the disadvantage that militants were convinced

that they were on India's side. But they got killed even when they stay silent

Pakistan knew very well that it had lost in the two wars. It is a proxy war that is feasible

That's why it was supporting JKLF in every way. Now you will say that JKLF

said that Kashmir should be separated and made a separate nation.

Neither should it be joined with Pakistan nor India. Then why is Pakistan helping them?

Pakistan used JKLF after that

it stopped their funding and made a new group called Hizbul Mujahideen

Their only motive was to separate Kashmir and merge it with Pakistan.

See, small fights and murders were going on but the main fight started

when they started killing famous Kashmiri Pandits who were at high posts

So that people would be terrified.

In September 1989, they killed Pandit Tika Lal Taploo who was a famous BJP leader

In October they killed Neelkanth Kajloo who was a retired judge.

He gave a death sentence to Maqbool Butt

They crossed all the limits on 8th December. They kidnapped the daughter

of India's home minister and released their 5 terrorists.

After doing all this, the confidence of militants was reaching the sky

They have brought the whole government of India on their knees.

And then also they didn't stop

They showed their savagery

They marched wearing masks and carrying AK 47.

They shouted slogans of Ralif, Salif, and Galif

They were roaming around the roads carrying AK 47

Police used to hide at the sight of them. On 4th January they got the newspaper

printed saying that the Kashmiri Pandits should leave the valley. Alsafa, an Urdu newspaper

published this for many days. Announcements from Mosques were made

A hit list was pulled

which contained the names of reputed Kashmiri Pandits

that they will be killed. But the most terrifying night was

the night of 19th January, the chain of events occurred on that day

It felt like all of this has happened under proper planning

Before 1.5 months a government came with the support of the BJP

And on 19th November, Jagmohan was made governor and sent to Kashmir.

And on the same day, Farooq Abdullah resigned.

The capital of Jammu and Kashmir used to change

every 6 months at that time.

Jammu in winters and Srinagar in summer.

All the government officials were in Jammu at that time.

And Jagmohan who was governor couldn't reach Srinagar due to bad weather.

If you see at that particular time then neither there was the government in Kashmir

And nor any authority.

It felt like Kashmiri Pandits were left to get killed in the valley

Pakistan said that it has nothing to do with it

And it is the people who are doing all this because they are fed up with the government.

People of Kashmir cannot do it in this much-planned manner.

They don't have this much understanding that a new government has come

There is no authority on 19th January. Rajesh Pilot reported Rajya sabha

In which from 1990 to 1993, 150 rocket launchers, 1926 AK type rifles

710 pistols, 5248 grenades,

643 mines, and

44 walkie-talkie sets were found.

All these things require money and the people of Kashmir don't have this much money.

And if they got money then they are not scientists that they will develop these by themselves

So everybody knew what Pakistan had done even after Pakistan denied everything.

On 19th January, most murder, rape, and shops were looted

They had to flee leaving all their belongings as if there were any storm.

When all this happened during the night of 19th then on 20th January

lakhs of Kashmiri Hindus started to leave the valley.

And in March and April, 2700 Kashmiri Hindus left in the valley.

They started to live in camps leaving their house and lands.

The people who had money and their relative's support managed everything

but those who didn't have money are waiting to come back home for the last 30 years

They thought that this is just for a week or two, the situation is bad now

Then we'll go back to our homes. But it has now been 30 years

And they couldn't come back to their homes till now.

On 21st January, Muslims reached Gawkadal Bridge shouting slogans

And they were going towards Lal Chowk. The CRPF soldiers stopped them

and gave them a warning but it got so much that open firing started.

And Muslims had to lose their lives.

According to the reports of India, 28 deaths occurred.

And according to an International Human Rights organization

50 deaths occurred.

And according to the survivors, 280 people were killed.

Some Muslims didn't want Kashmiri Hindus to leave the valley.

The reason is the former authorities in the valley reported to the governor

that some Muslims have come to them and demanded that Kashmiri Pandits

shouldn't be sent outside and they should be stopped. Because if they'll go

then the army will get a free hand for the proceedings.

The people who are against Jagmohan said that

Jagmohan encouraged Kashmiri Pandits to go

and even provided the transport to drop them at the camp.

So this was done intentionally so that the army will get the free hand to control that area.

And the people who were in support of Jagmohan

said that he did absolutely the right thing.

because if he hadn't done this then many more lives could be lost

Debates are going on about the data. Someone's tweeting that Muslims died more

some are tweeting more Hindus have died. 26000 soldiers have been martyred due to Kashmir.

And 7000 to 8000 have been martyred in that valley.

Nobody cares about that because it is not a vote bank.

When PP Kapoor filed RTI then the official data was

that 89 Kashmiri Pandits have lost their lives because of militants.

The RTI filed by PP Kapoor

in that 1989 was not mentioned. Only 1990 was mentioned.

Only this year was mentioned. When they are asked about both the years

219 Kashmiri Pandits have lost their lives due to militancy.

But the actual survivor

If their records are to be asked then

according to them, this number was in thousands.

According to the reports of 2011, approx 1.5 lakhs Kashmiri Hindus have left Kashmir

18735 Muslims also left Kashmir

These Muslims were government officials

Or were supporting Kashmiri Hindus

Or they were talking about joining India.

So the thing is whose fault is it?

It is a complete failure of government and administration

You can assume that

when you choose a weak government then what can be its consequences

If VP Singh would've wanted, he could send the army in December

when the report of intelligence was released but he was scared

that when they've brought home minister on his knees then anything

could happen to me. Farooq Abdullah released 70 terrorists from jail in 1989.

Later on, they caused huge damage

Nobody asks them about this.

Hurriyat who talks about separating Kashmir

The government spent 484 crores on its security

21 crores were spent on a luxury hotel

And 26 crores were spent on its transportation.

sometimes it feels like the government is joking around with the people.

You say that why Kashmiri Hindus haven't raised the weapons?

These were not your colony's religious riots. Very big powers were involved in this.

If the money and weapons equal to fight a war with a country was given

Then also they couldn't win because when our government is seeing the drama

then nothing can be done in this. Till today, in India, many governments came and go

Whether you take the recent government or earlier government

Some made a fool of us and some took the credit but did half the work.

You've made your citizens a refugee for the last 30 years

And you talk about CAA and NRC.

Your oil is on the floor and you are passing the utensil to some other.

In 2015, the government said that we will bring them back

It's been more than 7 years but only 15 ℅ of construction work has been completed

In the same Jammu and Kashmir, you've given 3000 acres of land

to Industries and Commerce Department for the investment

But all the powers fail when it's time to

take 200 acres for Kashmiri Pandits.

In the manifesto of 2014,

In the manifesto of 2019,

It is mentioned in every manifesto that Kashmiri Pandits will be given land

But they didn't get the land till today.

Everybody knows that nobody reads that manifesto.

The main thing is that until the last vote on this issue is collected

Till then Kashmiri Pandits will remain in speeches and not in their homes.
